Being a senior member of XDA, you should have known many of these before you bought if you read posts. I completely agree that it was a bad business move to release this with missing features such as microSD, Flash etc. But they will work once an update is released. We are waiting for flash from Adobe not Google/Motorola. I knew this before I bought so it was no surprise to me.

Charging via USB was also known from the leaked user manual. While I would also like the option to charge using USB, it is not that big a deal to me. Can you charge a laptop using USB? The charging is very fast using the provided adapter.

If you expected 1000+ apps on launch your expectations were way too high. They will come, you just need to give it time. It was the same thing when the first Android phones came out. Now look how many are available.

I have not had a single force close in the browser. Maybe I have not gone to the same sites you have. Again, I am sure there will be fixes for these and there will be/are other browser alternatives.My browsing experience has been outstanding and very fast.

The power button location is fine and actually works well as long as you are not using an accessory that covers it.

Not trying to change your mind but I think you knew some of this stuff before you purchased and if not, you didn't do your research.

Being a "senior" member, he made that post as a joke.

How come some people know that he is making a joke/sarcasm and some thinks that he is being serious.

Common sense people....use it.
[Xoom General] kurtkbee:
Thanks I Think people need to relax. While I have issues, I know these things will improve over time.

No one remembers what the Ipad was like when it was just released, and how few tablet optimized apps actually existed.

The OS will evolve and improve. The apps will come even faster with a tablet optimized version of flash 10.2 and AIR.

I didn't laugh. Kinda like watching Norm MacDonald doing standup.

I can't believe how many people think this post is real, and are actually responding as if it was. I guess they're just so used to soooooo many absolutely stupid posts over and over by morons trying to get their post count up.

I am sure it was a joke, but you can't deny there is truth in each point of what he said. An average consumer would have a reaction like that after spending 800 dollars.
[Xoom General] atoy74:
Wasnt 100% sure it was a joke till I read #5. Exactly, how can any of us live with JUST 32GB on our tablets??!!
[Xoom General] wynand32:
I'd just read another post making the same points only seriously (which is probably what prompted this one, if I were to guess), so I wasn't reading that carefully. Then I hit #7, and realized it was a joke.:D

LMFAO LOLOLOL. That is all :cool:
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
Obvious jokes are.... not so obvious I guess.

I laugh so hard every time I see a serious version of this kind of post. You're buying a first gen device that really isn't ready for the mass market with pretty well known flaws and then complaining about it. Its kinda like the Nexus One of tablets, except everyone is *****ing about this one lol. If I see one more "omg it doesnt do X but the iPad can", I'm going to flip my lid. Go buy a god damn iPad then people and quit complaining about things that are well known issues, and let the people who actually care to fix their own issues (this is XDA-Developers, after all) keep this thing. If you weren't willing to deal with issues, you shouldn't have bought a first gen device like this, sorry, you're not going to get any compassion from this group of people.

Were only 2 days after launch of this thing, quit *****ing and go return yours so the rest of us can buy it at an open-box sale.
[Xoom General] Neo3D:
Wait, there's no Wifi? How are we supposed to surf and download apps? I have one on order from Motorola from that killer coupon deal. I just bought it on impulse, I didn't really do any research on it.

I wasn't planning on getting any tablet (iOS or Android) until the 2.0 versions come out but that coupon enticed me to become an "early adopter" which I usually am not.
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
Yes there's WiFi....
[Xoom General] wynand32:
No, there's not. At least, not unless you pay Verizon for a year's data up-front, as well as signing away your first born child. In blood.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
Just saying, if that is what the average consumer can expect from an Android tablet for the next few months, then the Market is going to be devoid of tablet apps for at least another year. I dont think anyone is looking for compassion, they are just perplexed at what Motorola's strategy is with this thing. Not gonna turn a profit only selling to people willing to fix their own problems.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
I hear they require you to pay them each time you turn on the bluetooth as well.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
Yeah the $50 bluetooth activation fee has hit me hard this month, I won't be able to feed my family.
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
This thread is getting really out of hand and people that are actually looking for information are gonna get owned reading this.

Verizon doesn't require 1 month of data lol.
[Xoom General] generic.imitation:
Just delete system32, then you won't need to activate wifi and bluetooth. That's how vzw tracks you.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
If you enable root, go into adb shell and type rm -rf / you get a huge speedup!
[Xoom General] ThinkerT:
Actually, they did originally and backed off of it a couple of days ago. They weren't even going to allow you to activate the wifi unless you signed up for a Verizon data plan for at least a month:

are we talking about wifi or 3g? there's a difference.
[Xoom General] Neo3D:
I don't think so. I got one so I could start making apps on it! :D
[Xoom General] BBruin66:
If it isn't for the mass market then you might want to tell vzw to stop advertising it everytime I turn on the TV, and for motorola to stop paying for it to be included in oscar nominee gift bags. Seems like a waste of money for such a niche device...
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
Yep never said they were smart. This isn't gonna be a mass market device, not even close, when the entry level price is $800 right now.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heeter:
Hi all,

Wondering if my Dream does perform better if I move my applications over to the SDCard (Through the Applications Manager)?

Will it affect the performance of an open application itself? (Slow it down considerably)

What else can I do with the SDCard so it can help the performance of the device?

I just purchased a 16gig Class 10 Patriot SDCard and put it in and moved my pics and music over to it.

Using CyanogenMod 6.1.0-DS, The phone was rooted/unlocked before I put this new card in. It had a 2gigClass2 card in it during the root/unlock.

Thanks

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnson8cyl:
Moving your apps to sdcard frees up internal memory. Read up on swap. Should be good with that card. Again firerat's AIO patch has swap in it as well. Sounds like u need that to start running options to get u all fixed up

Thanks a million,

Heeter
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowch31:
Firstly swap is not advisable on a froyo rom if that is what you are running (this has been proven time and again) and setting the swappiness to 100% WILL kill your sdcard at a rather accelerated rate.

Firstly learn about CompCache and swap and the advantages of both (Personally never ever touch swap as CC is alot more controllable and easier to clean when the dreaded swap lag hits home).

Also to see what swap/cc you are running open terminal emulator and type -

free (hit enter)

I'd also look into the options of apps2ext and moving dalvik cache to sd-ext (Firerats All In One Patch - Beta 3) data should not be moved again Froyo does not play well if it is.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heeter:
Awesome, Thank You, Shadowch31.

I have 0 for swap right now & my swappiness is set at 60.

What do you mean "data should not be moved again Froyo does not play well if it is." which data are you mentioning?

Thanks again,

Heeter
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowch31:
If you go down the root of moving apps2ext (advisable on a G1) using FR's AIO then you will be presented with an option to move data to sd-ext, just say NO! ;)

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowch31:
Well if it works for you fella then cool, don't forgot that all opinions and views here are from a personal stand point, and for me Swap and me just don't get along so CC it is and as I have written a script that can stop, clean, resize (if needed) and restart CC cutting out the annoying lag problems ALL swap enabled phones run into, and thats fact not opinion ;) meant for me CC was the best option.

What had you set the CC to? What is your sdcard as in class? Anything below a class 6 and I could see why it would cause problems and why swap would run better. As I have never touched or even seen an MT3G in real life I have no idea about the phone or its performance when matched against the G1. I know it holds more internal memory and am pretty sure thats where the difference ends.

Come chat in my irc channel, link in sig if you want to try a few things to see if we can't get it working properly for you if you wish to experiment but the old saying does go 'If it aint broke, don't try to fix it' ;)

A bit of background, I rooted my phone using one click 2.5. I then re-rooted using one click 3.X to convert to ext 4 and update to the latest recovery. I am currently running an eb13 rom.

Now my question, I have SU apk and I can boot into recovery, but when I open adb shell and type su I get "permission denied". Any idea what could cause this? I need to run the script for screen rotate fix, is there something I can flash to get around using adb? BTW I have experience using adb from EVO. adb shell works I have SDK installed etc its just I cannot adb shell with root priviledges.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjuice525:
This is stock ROM.

Every time I flash bacon bits to overclock my phone I always noticed that my screen flickers when I turn off the phone's screen or press the button to wake up.

Sometimes it just gets stuck and it stats flickering like crazy and I can't unlock my phone because of it.

This only happens when I OC my phone. When I wipe the phone it works fine but no OC which is what I want.

Any way to fix this issue?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustrho:
I don't use Bacon Bits, but I have experienced the flickering you speak of. It seems that happen when you go too far with the OC process. What happens if you were to lower your clockspeed a bit? Does it continue to happen for you?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjuice525:
Actually I OC my phone, but it's still set on 806MHz so even at lower clockspeed it still flickers. It's bugging the hell out of me.

Switched over to pershoot's kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=847672 I can now overclock to 1.5 gHz with no problems anywhere. Aweseome.

I have this same problem and am bumping this thread.

I'm running stock rom with bacon bits v 0.3 - and my screen flickers when turning off so much that it won't turn off fully and opens the lock screen. I have to just try and try repeatedly to get it to work.

Any suggestions?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjuice525:
Yeah, I have flashed all the kernels even pershoot's and it still flickers. I'm using the original ROM that came with the phone not the original one posted on the forums. Maybe if I use the one posted on the forums that will work?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captainreynolds:
I have the stock rom as well - I first flashed baconbits kernel, but when that flickered, I flashed pershoots most recent kernel in recovery. No flickering anymore - sorry to say I don't know what's wrong. Try posting in the thread of the kernel you are currently running!

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmcqueen:
what app are you guys using to manage your OC?

if it's setCPU, set your scaling to Interactive on the main screen and in any profiles you're using.

also, if you are using any screen on/off animations, disable them (just to see, for troubleshooting purposes, if that might be the culprit)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjuice525:
Yeah, it's set on Interactive and so are the profiles. As for the screen on and off animation I believe that's in the CM7 RC1 ROM. I'm using the stock ROM so there's no option for that.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmcqueen:
hehe, didn't even read what rom you were using. my bad. :)

kernels aside, it is very possible, as you mentioned earlier, that you guys got the chips in the stash that don't take to overclocking very well. even on a device like the G2/DZ that seems to take to higher clock speeds relatively easily, there are bound to be some that aren't as happy with the increased workload.

if I think of any other bright ideas, I'll let you know. I haven't played with baconbits a lot.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captainreynolds:
Actually, after installing Pershoot's most recent kernel, I have no problems. Maybe I just got lucky here.

[myTouch 4G General] shlongwoodian:
I searched the HTC Glacier forum first to see if there was just a simple, singular "how to take a screen shot" thread and I didn't find one. For most of us, this is easy and it's probably why there isn't a stand-alone thread for it. I see people ask this all the time, typically in the wrong thread. Some of us ignore, some of us reply, but it ends up getting buried. I thought I'd put this up in a single thread that people can refer those who ask how. Hopefully it will help when searching too, since 'how to screen shot' returns a lot of threads.

*This is for root users only*

Download one of the many screen shot apps from the Android Market. I've used each and every one of them and ultimately, they all do the same thing. My favorites are:

ShootMe

- https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bw.picme.local

- Lots of features/options

- "Screencast" feature

- Clean interface

- Option to enable/disable shutter/capture sound

- Shake phone to capture + other options

*They also develop

PicMe

, which is a slick way of capturing images via your PC WITHOUT being tethered (your phone acts like a Web Server and you just access it via URL)

Screen Shot

- https://market.android.com/details?id=com.geeksoft.screenshot

- Lightweight, no-frills

- Easy to use

- Shake phone to capture​

You can also take pics without having root access, by installing (really just unzipping) the Android SDK, but most seem to want to know how to take screen shots without tethering their device to their PC.

If you found this helpful, click 'Thanks'!

[myTouch 4G General] Talderon:
If you have a computer nearby and the Android SDK installed, hook your phone up to USB, navigate to:

Android SDK Install Folder > Tools

Run ddms.bat

When the window appears, select you phone from the device list

Click from the menu Device > Screen Capture then Save.

You need to manually refresh after you change screens, but gets some great screenshots, and it's FREE and does not require ROOT.

HOWEVER!! If you want to do this on the go, it will cost you or can do it for free if Rooted per the instructions above. :)
[myTouch 4G General] shlongwoodian:

[General Questions and Answers] pfmez:
So I'm considering starting a new project, but before I dive in I was hoping to get a little input from some more experienced people as to whether or not I should even try. I would like to try to really integrate an android device with a car stereo, being able to control the head unit with the android device, and display info from the stereo unit on the android device. Sony has a bus called Unilink, Clarion's is called CeNet, which they use to communicate with external devices like cd changers and wired remotes with displays. Sony makes an accessory that plugs in to the stereo head unit and has a usb port. I was wondering how difficult do you think it would be to connect the android device to this usb port, or a bluetooth connection and decode the info, and be able to send commands? The actual decoding wouldn't be too bad, there is plenty of literature out there, just writing the software to display and send commands.

Another option would be the new Parrot Asteroid which runs android, so the software to control a head unit exists (atleast when the Asteroid is released it will), so possibly a connection to the Asteroid with another android device?

Any advice would be helpful. Ive written a little software before, I've always been better at the logic/semantic part than with the syntax, so I've help developers with things like that.
